That's What I Want To Hear
GB7EmE
So you tell me that your last good dollar is gon
AD
and you say that your pockets are bare
GB7EmE
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and tor
AA7
and nobody seems to care
B7E
Now don't tell me your troubles
AD
no I don't have the time to spare
B7EmE
But if you want to get together and figh
AD
good buddy that's what I want to hear
And you tell me that your job was taken awa
by a big ol' greasy machine
And you tell me that you don't collect no more pa
and your belly is growing lean
Now if I had the jobs to giv
you know I'd give them all away
But don't waste your breath calling out my nam
if you don't have nothing to say
And you tell me that you don't have nothing to d
and you keep on wasting your time
And you say when you want to get your family some foo
you gotta stand in a relief line
Now it's a sin and a bloody sham
'bout the way they're pushing you 'round
But when you decide not to take no mor
you know I'll put my money down
'Cause I've seen your kind many times befor
And I'll see 'em many times again
Oh but every bad thing that's happened to yo
has happened to better men
So don't explain that you've lost your wa
that you've got no place to go
You've got a hand and a voice and you're not alon
Brother that's all you need to know
And if you're still wondering what I'm trying to sa
let me tell you what it's all about
Now nobody listens to a single ma
when he's walkin' 'round down and out
So if you're looking for an answe
he's standing there by your side
And you'll never really know how far you'll g
'til you join together and try
